“Matilda” led the pack with a total of five awards, while musical revival “Pippin” (four trophies) and play revival “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (three) proved the favorites their own respective categories. “Cinderella” also walked away with three.

“Matilda” notched wins for musical, book (Dennis Kelly) and lyrics (Tim Minchin), although the music award went to David Byrne and Fatboy Slim for their Off Broadway outing “Here Lies Love.” A Brit hit that’s a critical darling on both sides of the Atlantic, “Matilda” also scored for supporting actor (Bertie Carvel, up for a Tony in the lead category) and set design (Rob Howell).

The Drama Desk is the third award-season win for “Vanya and Sonia,” the play by Christopher Durang that also has scored the New York Critics Circle Award and the Drama League kudo for new play. The victories suggest growing voter momentum for “Vanya and Sonia” in a Tony field that, initially at least, seemed filled with viable candidates, including “The Assembled Parties,” “Lucky Guy” and “The Testament of Mary.”

Thesping honors went to Billy Porter (“Kinky Boots”) and Laura Osnes (“Cinderella”) for lead perfs in tuners, while Tracy Letts (“Virginia Woolf?”) and Cicely Tyson (“The Trip to Bountiful”) nabbed trophies for leading roles in plays.

Kudos were handed out May 19 in a ceremony at Town Hall in midtown Manhattan.
